Awards and reviews

April 2016

great care has clearly gone into song selection, and in ensuring balance and variety. If you missed these first time around or want to take a plunge into Mehta’s repertoire these three discs are all desirable, though Che Puro Ciel is clearly the highlight.

Opera Now February 2016

Mehta certainly has a well-produced voice … His vocal technique is solid and there is no doubting his artistic integrity.
